Introduction

The University of New South Wales UF High School Program is the #1 ranked offshore Australian program in China. The program is the largest source of undergraduate students from China for the Australian Group of Eight with nearly 95% of its graduates being admitted to the G8 over the program's history. Over 350 students from the program were admitted to Melbourne, Monash, UNSW and Sydney in 2020. Program campuses are currently located in Nanjing, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Xi'an, Xuzhou, Nantong and others.

The UNSW Australian High School program is one of a handful in China embedding a foreign university's postgraduate foundation program with the public high school curriculum. This has been made possible due to the traditionally high achievement and academic background of the partner schools and their respective students. Rising Senior 1 students (Grade 10) must be eligible and have the aptitude to handle an accelerated course of study completing all local and foreign high school credit classes in only five semesters.

Prior to the final year of studies, students apply for one of three study streams offered: Commerce, Physical Science and Design. The Design Stream is the only program in the country offered to Chinese high school students interesting in pursuing university studies in Architecture, Urban Planning, Visual Arts and other related majors.
